Looks good in the different colour ways;

**sigh** Old Radium.
I like the B&R vibe here, though. The panda is nice looking.

The mountain range at the 12 on the three hander is a nice touch.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Echo/neutra 1956
I am not usually a "but the name/logo" guy (see my non-complaints of Chris Ward), but for some reason the brand name and logo really bother me on this one. Really like the design of the three-hand otherwise, though.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: echo/neutra Cortina 1956 Collection
Still don't like the logo and I'm getting kinda sick of fake old radium. But despite that I'm drawn to the look. And the pre-order prices aren't bad.
